Dr. Azuma is an authority
on electric technology. He is engaged in developing robots to serve the
welfare of mankind. But one night these robots are struck by lightning
and go insane. They begin to destroy everything in their path. To cope
with this devastating catastrophe, Tetsuya, Dr. Azuma's son, voluntarily
becomes a human robot known as Casshern, even though he realizes he can never return to his
natural form. Later, Casshern and his
robotic dog, Friender, join forces with a beautiful girl named Luna to
battle the robots led by their brutal boss known as the Braiking Boss.

After the release
of TVC, I checked
out some of the new Casshan anime and the live action film, and he's
definitely one of my favorite Tatsunoko characters. On a side note, I wonder who would win
between Casshan's mech-dog and Strider
Hiryu's mech-panther... heh. On that note, I really wish Strider appeared in
Tatsunoko VS Capcom... Casshern and Hiryu would've been an epic team up. Anyway,
Casshern is a fun character in Tatsunoko VS Capcom and oozes with
coolness.
